    If it's a named cultivar (quite likely in an open garden) the it could be ex 'Red Star'.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    There are loads as Nut says.  Have a look at the Touchwood site and you'll be addicted, GD!

  • Oh my goodness - what a lot of varieties on the touchwood site - I have so many of the basic purple & pink types but I have fallen in love with Crimson or Red Star - it is outstanding. Unfortunately there were no seed heads on it.....
